"I'm going to have to tell everyone else about this, aren't I?" I shakily asked my best friend (and kind of brother) Tommy. "What have I been telling you for the past three months, Tubbo!" Tommy yelled back at me. I put my finger to my mouth, trying to signal him to be quieter. It clearly didn't work. "You clearly can't hide them in your hair anymore, and everyone is very suspicious of that beanie you've worn for the past 2 weeks!"

"I thought I would have more time! I thought maybe we could get everything figured out! I-" I paused for a second, stumbling over my words. "I don't want to worry Phil, or Wilbur, or even Techno. I just-" "You want to be normal." Tommy interrupted. I nodded my head. Tommy grabbed me by my shoulders and looked straight into my eyes. "Tubbo, you don't have any other options. You either tell Phil, or Phil finds out himself." His stern tone of voice was making me shake a little bit, but I knew he was right.

I turned to look at myself in the mirror, staring at the horns poking out of my hair. They had grown a lot since I first noticed them, and it was almost like they were starting to curl a little bit. It wasn't just the horns, though. I'd always had odd shaped ears, but everyone assumed it was just a deformity. Now my ears were definitely getting... longer? If they got any longer, I was certain they would become kind of floppy. I cringed a little bit, and turned back to face Tommy. He gave me a big smile, and yelled "PHIL!" as loud as possible.

"Tommy!" I whispered, and he just shrugged. Tommy went to the front of our room and opened the door. It wasn't Phil standing there, it was Wilbur. "Phil and Techno are making breakfast, what do you need?" Wilbur asked. "Uh, so, uh, Wilbur. You see, Tubbo here-" Tommy started to say, but cut off when Wilbur's facial expression changed to shock as he looked at me. "Tommy, what did you do to Tubbo this time?" He asked. Tommy laughed dryly. "Oh, wait! Is that why you were wearing a beanie earlier?" Wilbur asked. Tommy smacked his forehead.

"Breakfast is ready!" I heard Phil yell from downstairs. "Yeah, we made omelettes!" Techno yelled after Phil. I took a deep breathe, and tried to explain to Wilbur. "Uh, yeah, I don't really know why, they started growing in about three months ago, but then they got longer and my ears also started getting longer so that's why I wore a hat and-" "Pog." Wilbur interrupted, and walked downstairs.

Tommy started to slowly creep down the stairs, signaling me to follow. "What happened up there?" I heard Phil ask. "Oh, Tubbo grew horns." Wilbur said. "HEH?" Techno exclaimed. Tommy laughed a little bit, but I was too scared to find that funny. "Yeah, we were planning to show you!" Tommy said. He grabbed my arms and dragged me into the living room. I gave a faint smile, trying to reassure myself more than anyone else. "Uh, hi?" I said in a very squeaky voice.

Everyone did look confused at first, but it only lasted a second. Phil walked over to me, smiled, and wrapped his arm around me. "We all love you just the same." He said. Everyone in the family cringed at his cheesy choice of words, but it was weird for Phil to say something like that. Phil's facial expression became serious. "But seriously, how long have you been hiding this from us?" "I-I noticed it a couple of months ago." I looked down at the ground. "Tubbo, you must have gone to an awful lot of trouble to hide them. Why would you think we would think of you any differently? I have wings, and you know about Wilbur and Tommy's stubs." Phil said. Techno, who didn't seem to be paying much attention, looked at me. "I'm literally part pig."

"I didn't want to bother any of you. I kind of had to tell Tommy, and he wanted me to tell all of you. I'm sorry." I said, diverting my attention back to the ground. "Tubbo, it's fine. I could have told everyone, or forced you to tell everyone, and I didn't." Tommy whispered in my ear. I nodded. "Welp, glad that's over!" I said, mostly faking a smile. I got most everyone to laugh. All the sudden Techno looked worried. "What is it, Techno?" Phil asked. "The omelettes! They're getting cold, nooo. I put in so much work!"
